Answer:

Let B and C be the positions of the two aeroplanes and BCD the vetical line.

so from the given info,

 BD=3000 m

let CD=h

Let A be the point from where the angles of elevation of the aeroplanes is given.

and let AD=x

 

so

 angle CAD=45 degrees

and

angle BAD =60 degrees.

In triangle BAD,

tan 60=3000/x..(i)

in triangle CAD,

tan 45=h/x....(ii)

from  (i) we get,

x=1000*(root 3)

from  (ii) we get,

x=h

so h=1000*(root 3)

BC= dist bet the aeroplanes=3000-h

calculate by putting the value of h.

You are posted as head of district which is severely affected by water crisis.  The situation has worsened to the extent that it has disrupted the law and order.  Presently cricket tournament is going on in the country. Matches are held all  over the country. You get a call from the state cricket association that a cricket  match is to be held in your district. A good sum of money is offered for the  match. However when you discuss the matter with your colleagues they  suggest you to decline the offer as the district is facing severe water scarcity  and this would further add to the problem as a large volume of water will be  needed for irrigating the pitch. If you accept the offer, you would get a good sum  of money which would compensate for the water used for irrigating the pitch. ¤ Will you accept the offer?  ¤ What are options before you? Explain the merits and demerits of each option.  ¤ Also suggest what course of action will you take?
